WHO WE ARE

This is our story

Since September 27, 2020 - the first day of the war that Azerbaijan unleashed against the ancestral population of Artsakh - Naregatsi Art Institute has come to aid the families affected by this unprovoked aggression. Using our internal resources and direct assistance from benefactors, we are engaging in current humanitarian initiatives to help the displaced people of Artsakh in any capacity we can. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our current sponsors, who have gone above and beyond in directly funding our humanitarian vision.

At Naregatsi, we have launched a humanitarian outreach program within our organization which aims to provide material assistance for the displaced families from Artsakh. This includes the provision of basic living necessities such as winter clothes, pillows, blankets, bedsheets, electric kettles, space heaters, gas stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, foldable beds, and other household items. Our immediate short-term goal is to provide sustenance and day-to-day survival means to these families, but in regards to the future, we aim to prevent these families from considering emigrating away from Armenia by providing support and giving them hope in any way we can. Powerful factors such as utter despair, total lack of resources, and prospects of their futures may trigger an exodus of these families from Armenia and Artsakh.

Small changes with a big difference

We are proud to provide any form of humanitarian assistance to our brothers and sisters displaced from Artsakh- who come from regions across Artsakh such as Shoushi, Askeran, Hadrut, Martakert, Kashatagh, Martuni, and Shahumyan. These families, whose lives have been completely uprooted, found themselves homeless overnight.

Naregatsi Art Institute will continue to maintain our humanitarian aid programs, directing our efforts to the most important cause - the post-war reconstruction of Artsakh and the strengthening the legendary mental fortitude of the Armenian people.

The war-affected children of Artsakh have not stopped dreaming about the future, and we must do everything to provide a solid foundation for a bright and peaceful future.
